Connection cables
Burmester recommends the use of cables with a large cross-sectional area to connect
the speakers to the power amplifiers. The large cable cross-sectional area preserves the
damping factor of the amplifiers for optimal speaker control.
For the best results, we recommend the use of original Burmester speaker cables,
which have the same electrical and acoustic properties as the wiring inside Burmester
speakers and amplifiers.
5.3
Requirements for amplifiers
The BA31 can produce superior acoustics, even in large spaces. Nonetheless, high-
quality power amplifiers are required to prevent clipping (distortion caused by
overdriving an amplifier) and speaker damage.
5.4
Classic connection
This is the most common connection type. Each power amplifier channel is connected
to a speaker using a 2-wire cable. A dual-channel (stereo) amplifier is then required for
stereo sound reproduction.

Connecting the speakers:
1.
The speakers are equipped with bi-wiring jumpers on delivery. Make sure that the
woofer terminals (LOW) are connected to the tweeter/mid-range terminals (HI/MID)
via the jumpers.
2.
Connect the left speaker to the left amplifier output.
3.
Connect the right speaker to the right amplifier output.
After connecting the speakers, continue by reading „Operating the Loudspeakers“ on
page 18.
